asp.net - Download file via handler without ending current response -

on page have button download document. building page steps, step 1 choosing type, step 2 downloading document , step 3 write information in textbox.

what show step 3 after button download has been pressed.

so in button_click event first put code show step 3 , need download form.

to download document use ashx handler file. works fine.

but problem when go handler, page not updated.

i used

response.redirect("givefile.ashx?file=document.doc",false)
